Brilliancy at the White House in
Honor of the Diplomatic Corps.

sky with an occasional dOwnpour OF rain,
and the streets and pavements slippery
with mud combined to render tonight an
unfortunate one as regards the weather

the scene within the White House. The
long corridors and large high rooms were
brilliantly lighted, while In every niche
were placed tropical plants Of all varle-
ties. In the East room these decora-
lions were supplemented by a great
prolusion of cut flowers, while the
gilded columns were wreathed with fern
and palm leaves, and the large chande-
lIeTs were twlned with smllax. The
Marine Band stationed In the corridor
furnished the music. The gaily deco
rated rooms were crowded from till
after II O'Clock with Congressman, diplo-
mats, judges. department OFFICIALS, army
and navy officers and other prominent
people with their wives and lady friends.
The receiving party consisted OF president
and Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Manning and
Mrs. Villas. Marshal Wilson made The
presentations. Behind the receiving
party in the Blue room stood
Secretaries Bayard, Manning, Endicott,
and Whitney and Postmaster General
Villas, Mrs. Charles w. Goodyear and
Mrs. George j. Sicard, Of Buffalo, and
MISS Hastings, the Presidents niece, who
are now guests at the White House; the

WASHINGTON, Jan, 13.-The Senate
Committee on Commerce to-day ordered
a favorable report on Senator Buffers
bill making an appropriation for the
jetties in Charleston harbor, with an
amendment reducing the amount from
$5OO,00 to $500, 900.
The report on the bill Is accompanied
by communication from Col Q. A. GILL

oill, Col. Gilmore says: "Ghe bill com
mends itself 10 the judgment OF every IN
telllgent engineer The enactment OF
such bill appears to be absolutely reces-
earA, IN order not only to secure any !Mr
progress in the construction OF the
Charleston ietties, but to prevent COM
plete destruction Of the work already
done. The last stoppaGe of work on
this Improvement was very expensive
one to the United States.
A recent examination of the letties dis
closes the fact that fully halt OF the ap-
preparation made Aug. 5, 1886, will need
to be expended in repairing damages that
would not have occurred had thore been
no suspension of operations. Previous
stoppa2 es have not been quite so dieas-
trous as this one. but the final result viii
doubtless be that the ietties Will cost at
least one half more than the original eeti-

CHINESE WALLED OUT.
The Facts Which Led to the Agree
. no


ment or the New Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The new Chi
nese treaty has not been signed yet. 1t
will exclude labOrers reciprocally from
both countries, and at the same time
secure all the present rights OF merch-
ants, missionaries and travellers. Secre-
tary Bayard is satisfied at having secured
by amicabie negotiations what has
hitherto been only attempted by inviting
Congressional legislation inimical to our
former treaty stipulations. He has
brought Ii about by direct appeals to tue
Chinese Minister here. He has convinced
the Chinese Minister that the Ameri-
cans and the Chinese will not
mix, and that 1t is TO the interest Of both
10 keep apart. He took occasion to de-
plore the cruel treatment OF the Chinese
in the Northwest, but cited it as an Illus
tration OF the friction inevitable when the
two races come in conflict. The Chinese
Minis er agrees with him. Another rea-
son given by him for signing the treaty is
that II 10 in accord with the traditional
ant emigration policy OF the Chinese gov
ernment.

The local end of the anarchist decision is
not as tradgical as oomical The great point
of ambition was to get the decision into Chi.
cage as soon rs it was announced, and to
send in the entire opinion as soon as posi-
bic. Three Chicago reporters had been here
for about week, waiting for the great event
of the decision. Monday three crack tee-
graph operators from Chicago took posses
sion of the Western Union office in this city,
and waited to send the opinion over the
wires in hurry when it did come. Monday
and Tuesday more newspaper men came TO
Ottawa, and Wednesday morning the Su-
prcme Court building was througed with
reporters. When court opened there were
two horsemen at the door waiting to tear
down town with the dispatches. Every re
porter hat two dispatches written, one con.
frmug and the other reversing the decision
of the lower court
When Judge Magruder rose TO announce
the decision there wasn't breath to be
heard. Every reporter in the crowd stood
planted in his tracks. The word was spoken
and then such another stampede there never
was. Those reporters literally flew down
stairs. Papers were handed to the two
horsemen, who tore down town at breakncck
speed. One of the horses, in turning the
corner by the Clifton House, fell Hat, throw.
Il ing the rider about rod over his head. The
boy got up, grabbed his dispatch and, never
looking to see where his horse was, started
on a run for the telegraph Office.
